ZORGON'S REVENGE  Login : Password : Forgotten password PUBLISHER : PROGRAMMERS AUTHORS : John Sinclair TYPE : SEU/ Arcade PRICE IN UK: 8.50 Pounds RELEASE DATE : 1983 PLATFORM :      CATEGORY : Action SECOND CATEGORY : Game (Software House) ORIGIN :   NOTES : No tranfer errors. Nothing on inlay_b. Recorded once at fast speed on labelled side, other side is empty. Though copyrighted 1983, it seems the game was more likely released early 1984 (who remembers?). Inlay: Johnson & Allison Can be used with a PASE joystick with the program Joystick Adapter 1. There are at least two UK versions and two French versions. Difference in the UK versions are mainly in the fact that references to Oric-1 are modified on the inlay and in the instructions, probably when the Atmos was released. Difference in the French versions is huge: it's the program. Some hold the same program than the UK version, but others begin with the ALC program, followed by a modified version for Atmos, that uses CTRL and SHIFT to control the spaceship, instead of X and an arrow key, that only suited the Oric-1! So French instructions mention CTRL and SHIFT to move the ship up and down... Or CTRL and X, according to each version of the program. Note: the CTRL+SHIFT version doesn't work anymore with Joystick Adapter 1 program. In an interview, John Sinclair recalled fixing the key for the Atmos. Speculation: Unless we find some UK inlay version with a modified tape, it seems more likely that only the French version has been modified. This could be explained by lots of stocks to sell (Xenon-1 was a hit, so probably lots of Zorgon UK tapes were produced early), and the French Oric market being still alive while it was dying in UK. So only the latest tapes produced would have been fixed, and they were for the French market. Fun: there's also an auto-running shop demo version, and according to Oric Owner (issue #9), an 'early sample of Zorgon's revenge, designed so that reviewers could review it more easily' which had a cheat in the space mission level to get infinite lives. Cheat: after each mission, you have to build a part of the castle's bridge. Just press Z at the beginning to clear the level! Thanks to Sylvain Laurent for the 2nd UK version, to Hialmar and Maximus for the 1st French version, and to Romain for the CTRL+SHIFT version.
